A comparative analysis of the effects of the COVID-19 crisis and the economic crisis on the operation of the Ta-grad d.o.o. construction company
Ovaj diplomski stručni rad sadrži opis ekonomske krize iz 2008. godine i krize izazvane pandemijom COVID-19. Diplomski stručni rad također sadrži opis utjecaja navedenih ekonomskih kriza na građevinski sektor i na poslovanje građevinskog poduzeća Ta-grad d.o.o. Glavni cilj odabira ove teme jest njezina relevantnost, te involviranost autora u svakodnevnu problematiku s kojom se sektor susreće. Iako je riječ o tradicionalnom sektoru, svjedoci smo iznimnih tehnoloških napredaka i upotrebe novih građevinskih materijala u svrhu uštede i brže izgradnje, za što je neophodno proučiti financijske pokazatelje. Na temelju analize promatranih financijskih pokazatelja, može se zaključiti da je velika gospodarska kriza koja se dogodila od 2008. do 2014. godine imala veći utjecaj na poduzeće u usporedbi s krizom COVID-19.This final paper contains a description of the economic crises of 2008 and the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This final paper also contains the impact of the aforementioned economic crises on the construction sector, and on the operations of the construction company Ta-grad. The main goal in choosing this topic is its relevance, and the author's involvement in the everyday issues faced by the sector. Although it is a traditional sector, we are witnessing exceptional technological progress and the use of new construction materials for the purpose of economising and all together faster construction, and for that to be done, it is necessary to study the financial indicators. Based on the analysis of the observed financial indicators, it can be concluded that the major economic crisis that occurred from 2008 to 2014 had a greater impact on the company compared to the COVID-19 crisis

Impact of the COVID-19 crisis on rural tourism in the Republic of Croatia
Turizam u svijetu je pretrpio težak udarac. Zatvaranje granica, ograničenja putovanja i uvođenje karantena rezultirali su dramatičnim padom međunarodnih putovanja. Mnoge zemlje su ograničile dolazak stranih turista kako bi suzbile širenje virusa, što je dovelo do ozbiljnog ekonomskog gubitka za turističke destinacije diljem svijeta pa tako i za one u segmentu ruralnog turizma. Predmet istraživanja u ovom radu odnosi se na ruralni turizam uslijed COVID-19 krize. Pri tome, svrha završnog rada odnosi se na identifikaciju uspješnosti ruralnog turizmu u pretkriznom i kriznom razdoblju.

Brendiranje Krapinsko-zagorske županije kao destinacije zdravstvenog turizma
Turizam je jedan od najvažnijih pokretača za razvoj gospodarstva – kako u brojnim zemljama svijeta, tako i u Hrvatskoj. Jedan od najbrže rastućih turističkih proizvoda je zdravstveni turizam, koji bilježi godišnji rast od 15 do 20 %, a on je uvjetovan demografskim, sociološkim i kulturološkim uvjetima u Europi i svijetu. Do 2030. godine očekuje se da će postati jedan od najvećih pokretača turističkih putovanja. Hrvatska je turistička zemlja, a sve je više turista koji se koriste upravo uslugama zdravstvenog turizma. Upravo je zdravstveni turizam jedan od strateških razvojnih ciljeva turizma i zdravstva. Govoreći o zdravstvenom turizmu, govori se o tržištu koji raste iz godine u godinu i ne bilježi pad čak ni u godinama recesije. Upravo su to pokazatelji koji potvrđuju koliko je zdravstveni turizam važan te koliko je važno da se sustavno i neprestano ulaže u razvijanje, unapređenje i podizanje same kvalitete zdravstvenog turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj. Krapinsko-zagorska županija još uvijek ima manji broj turista od očekivanog, što se objašnjava nedostatkom ponuda i popratnih sadržaja turističkog i zdravstvenog sektora. Kvalitativno istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od četiriju ispitanika metodom dubinskih intervjua. Uz navedeno, primijenila se znanstvena i stručna literatura koja pokriva područje zdravstvenog turizma. Predmet istraživanja bile su turističke zajednice i toplice u Krapinsko-zagorskoj županiji, pronalaženje uzroka nedostataka ponude i popratnih sadržaja, a također se istražuje što bi se moglo napraviti brendiranjem usluga, proizvoda i same lokacije kako bi se postiglo da se u predstojećim godinama unaprijedi zdravstveni turizam – kako u Krapinsko-zagorskoj županiji, tako i u cijeloj Hrvatskoj.Tourism is one of the most important drivers for economic development, both in other countries of the world and in Croatia. One of the fastest growing tourism products is health tourism, which records an annual growth of 15 to 20%, and it is demographically, sociologically and culturally conditioned in Europe and in the world. By the year 2030, it is expected to become one of the biggest drivers of tourist trips. Croatia is a tourist country, and more and more tourists are using health tourism services. Health tourism is one of the strategic development goals of tourism and health. When talking about health tourism, we are talking about a market that is growing year after year and does not record a decline, even in the years of recession. These are all indicators that confirm how important health tourism is and how important it is to continuously invest in developing, improving and raising the quality of health tourism in the Republic of Croatia. Krapina-Zagorje County still has less tourists than expected, which is explained by the lack of offers and accompanying contents of the tourism and health sector. Qualitative research was conducted on a sample of four respondents using the method of in-depth interviews. In addition to the above, scientific and professional literature covering the field of health tourism was used. The subject of the research were tourist boards and health resorts in Krapina-Zagorje County, finding the causes for the lack of offer and accompanying contents, and what could be done with the branding of services, products and the location itself is also being investigated in order to improve health tourism in the coming years - both in Krapina-Zagorje County and in the whole of Croatia

Cilj rada je također utvrditi stavove i razmišljanja Upravnog odjela za društvene djelatnosti Grada Karlovca kao jednog od najvažnijih aktera u održivosti poslovanja udruga te istražiti stavove, ideje i razmišljanja osobe koja dolazi iz organizacije civilnog društva. U radu se koriste dvije metode istraživanja, online anketni upitnik i dubinski intervju. U zaključku se iznose rezultati istraživanja i zaključuje se temeljem istih te se postavljaju preporuke za daljnji rad. Udruge informiraju Grad o potrebama i željama lokalne zajednice, relevantne su za vlast i smatraju ih važnim društvenim akterima. Građani Karlovca upoznati su s radom i djelovanjem udruga te aktivno sudjeluju. Suradnja lokalne vlasti i udruga ostvaruje se u najboljoj mogućoj mjeri što je vidljivo iz financijskih i drugih potpora.This paper shows the role and significance of the work of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the area of the city of Karlovac through an assessment of the space in which civil society operates in the selected area.

The citizens of Karlovac are familiar with the work and activities of associations in which they actively participate. Cooperation between local authorities and associations is achieved to the best possible extent, which is evident from financial and other means of support

Razvojem i rastom internetske tehnologije, marketinška praksa redefinirana je u cijelom svijetu. Internet je izmijenio kontakt potrošača s robnim markama, napravivši direktan utjecaj na transformaciju ekonomije i marketinga. Tradicionalne strategije marketinga postale su nedostatne i neodržive za velik broj poduzeća. Digitalni marketing danas je postao jedno od ključnih područja fokusiranja poduzeća širom svijeta. Počeo je kao način komunikacije i evoluirao je u drugi izvor dodatnih prihoda, ali i najvažnije, u razvoj i održavanje dugoročnih odnosa s različitim skupinama na tržištu. U ovom radu obrađena je tematika pod nazivom „Analiza primjene digitalnog marketinga s ciljem unapređenja prodaje na primjeru odabranog poduzeća“. Ideja i motivacija za obradu ove tematike potječu od poslovnih aktivnosti autorice i spoznaje o važnosti digitalnog marketinga i njegove uloge u kreiranju i održavanju marke, kao i u stvaranju odnosa s kupcima; što posljedično ima snažan utjecaj i na prodaju samog proizvoda. Primarno istraživanje provedeno je primjenom anketnog upitnika, a rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da marka Heineken ima prostor za poboljšanja kod primjene digitalnog marketinga koji mogu pospješiti prodaju na hrvatskom tržištu.With the development and growth of internet technology, marketing practices have been redefined worldwide. The Internet has changed the way consumers encounter brands, making a direct impact on the transformation of the economy and marketing. Traditional marketing strategies have become insufficient and unsustainable for many companies. Digital marketing today has become one of the key areas of focus for businesses around the world. It started as a way of communication and evolved, not only into another source of additional income, but most importantly, into developing and maintaining long-term relationships with different market groups. This paper deals with the topic entitled "Analysis of the application of digital marketing with the aim of increasing sales on the example of the selected company." The idea and motivation for dealing with this topic comes from the author's business activities, and knowledge of the importance of digital marketing and its role in creating and maintaining a brand, as well as in creating relationships with customers, which has a strong impact on product sales. The primary research was conducted using a survey questionnaire, and the results of the research showed that the Heineken brand has room for improvements in the application of digital marketing that can boost sales in the Croatian market
